14 DAY TRIAL // Two of the most gorgeous actors of our times will be seen next together in the same film: Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp bring their star power to “The Tourist,” an action-packed thriller. They’re now promoting it – and Depp can’t stop praising his co-star.
The film has recently premiered in Paris and, during a press call, Johnny started talking about Angelina Jolie, the chemistry they had on set, how they bonded on a personal level as well and, most importantly, what a wonderful human being Jolie is.
Depp confessed that he met Jolie only once before they started shooting for the film, which, in itself, was a bit odd seeing how many acquaintances they have in common, PopSugar reports.
However, the first impression was very powerful – indeed, Angelina is a powerful woman, the kind who combines the right amount of grace with beauty, a strong head on her shoulders and a healthy dose of humor.
“She’s a real treat to get into the ring with. She's a lot of fun and funny! She’s deeply committed to the work, has a great approach and is very smart. She also has a very very absurd and perverse sense of humor,” Depp said.
“We met, oddly, right before we did this, which was just weird because we have a lot of mutual friends, acquaintances, and people we’ve worked with. When we sat down together, it was kind of instant. We got each other. Within minutes we were yakking about our kids, the perils of parenthood and all that fun stuff,” the actor went on to say.
Understandably, Johnny would love if he’d ever have the chance to work with Angelina again. For a woman who deals with so much on a daily basis, she remains one of the most fascinating and grounded persons he ever met, he said.
“She’s a good girl. I have a lot of respect for her. In the face of all that she, Brad, and the kids have to deal with, being globally under the microscope every second of the day, she’s grounded. She’s as cool, normal and low key [a woman] as you’d want to meet,” Johnny explained.
“She doesn’t take it all that seriously. She is a wonderful mommy, a great mommy, which you’ve gotta take your hat off to as well. And she’s out there trying to do things in the world, to help. She’s impressive. She’s a force,” the actor added.
Of course, Angelina too had only wonderful things to say of Depp – so please refer here for the rest of the interview.
